Answer:

Many active genes are found in euchromatin, because proteins involved in transcription can easily access these regions of DNA. (Ans. D)

Explanation:

Euchromatin: It is a form of chromatin which is lightly packed opposed to heterochromatin, which is densely packed. The presence of euchromatin usually reflects the cell are transcriptionally active in nature, which means they are actively transcribing DNA to mRNA.

The DNA is present in eukaryotic cells is arranged in complex comprising proteins and genes. These complexes are known as chromatin, and they exist in 2 forms euchromatin is also known as beads on a string structure and heterochromatin.

Euchromatin, because of the resemblance between a necklace of beads connected through a string and the nucleosomes connected with the help of linker DNA. After that, the euchromatin is consequently leaves the linker DNA exposed so that it can be transcribed. So, this way DNA and RNA polymerase as well as other proteins can access the DNA.

Answer:

B. Many active genes are found in euchromatin, because proteins involved in transcription can easily access these regions of DNA.

Explanation:

Euchromatin is the loosely coiled chromatin and is capable of undergoing the process of transcription. On the other hand, heterochromatin is the highly coiled and compacted chromatin present in its inactive state. Active genes are associated with more loosely packed chromatin, which is the euchromatin. This is due to the fact that the DNA in euchromatin is not tightly packed which in turn allows its interaction with a transcription factor. The tightly packed DNA of heterochromatin cannot interact with proteins requires for gene expression.

How do the hormones of the pancreas maintain homeostasis?
faust18 [17]
Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.

GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.

INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)

Periods of time when evolution took place quickly followed by long periods of stability
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The theory of punctuated equilibrium states that evolutionary change is characterised by short periods of rapid evolution followed by longer periods of stasis in which no change occurs. ... To meet this challenge, evolutionary biologists attempt to describe how and why evolutionary changes accumulate over time
